This week, Jen and Paul tackle a Vice President of Enterprise Sales job ad from a nonprofit tech platform, and it’s a doozy. With a $25M revenue target, a team of 40+ direct reports, and a compensation structure that’s more mystery than transparency, this role is a masterclass in how not to design a job. The ad screams capitalism but serves charities, raising serious questions: Who’s really benefiting here? And why is a role this demanding so light on details about authority, reporting structure, and even base salary?

From the ethical tightrope of incentivizing sales in the nonprofit sector to the logistical nightmare of managing a team this size, this episode dives deep into the systemic flaws hiding in plain sight. Plus, Jen and Paul debate whether “executive presence” is just code for old-school bias, and why this job ad might be setting up its hires for failure.
